The Broodmother Lysrix is a giant Arachnid with a base green body on Easy, orange on Medium, and red on Hard, and dark orange or brown legs. The Broodmother has two viciously large fangs seemingly dripping with venom. Large spikes can be seen on the abdomen. The Broodmother shares a similar appearance with the Araneos.

The Broodmother can only be found in the Broodmother Arena or in The Center Arena. To reach this location, players must go to either a Beacon or Obelisk and place the required tribute items inside, then click on the Generate Broodmother Portal or the Center Portal item. At this point a portal will be opened to teleport nearby players and dinos into the arena. (Up to 10 survivors and 20 tames only.)

If playing in Single Player mode, the portal can only be generated from the green obelisk.

Wild Stats Level-up

Type in values of a wild creature to see on which stats it's emphasized. Green values on a high-level creature are very good for breeding. If you have already tamed your creature you can try to recover the breeding-stats with an external tool.[1]

Broodmother Lysrix (Gamma)

The stat-calculator does not work in the mobile-view, see here for alternatives: Apps

Note that after the creature is tamed it gets bonuses on some stats depending on the taming effectiveness. This makes it hard to retrieve the levels on a tamed creature, so this tool is only for wild ones, but gives a first impression, how well the stats are distributed.

The Broodmother Lysrix is a dangerous enemy, and often the first boss players encounter in the game. It spawns many smaller Araneo spiders as minions. Provided the right tames and equipment are brought to the battle, it can be defeated quite easily.

There isn't really much strategy needed to fight Broodmother, most of the time, whistling all dinos to attack her will be sufficient enough. Make sure before you do this, everyone is saddled up and on board their dinos. Success in this boss fight is largely dependent on the tames and saddles you bring. Using 19 imprinted Rex with high armor saddles paired with a Yutyrannus for the courage buff will get the job done, however, some Rex can be substituted with imprinted, high armor saddle Megatherium for the bug killer buff that will grant even more damage. Furthermore, you could use a Spinosaur because there is water in the arena, which will grant the Spino the hydrated buff to increase its damage.

You can get caught off guard if you're not on a dino as Broodmother has the ability to fire webs that slow anything down. On Alpha difficulty, Broodmother receives a significant buff to health and damage, requiring very high armor saddles, imprinting, and the Yutyrannus's courage buff. Make sure you have a strong breeding line of whichever dino you're bringing to the battle.

Any method will have its ups and downs. Using up to 10 high level Megatherium can help kill the boss. It is a gigantic spider with high health and powerful damage output. Keep in mind that the Megatherium will need to kill a spider in order to receive its insect killer buff. Using 19 high level Rexes or Spinosaurs and one Yutyrannus for support buffs will always be one of the most reliable methods for beating the Broodmother Lysrix.

Until patch 183.0 the Broodmother was actually tameable. However, this was removed from the game and in current versions, the Broodmother is not tameable with regular methods.

After killing the Broodmother the first time, many players like to re-summon her in order to farm Chitin from the Spider Minions she summons (this was more common and easier prior to v239.0).

The Broodmother always spawns at level 1 in singleplayer.

Her original dossier was actually written in Daedric writing from The Elder Scrolls series. It translates to a text that appears to be written in Latin, but in fact turns out to be the so-called "Lorem Ipsum", a common filler text used for publishing and graphics design.
